       CHAPTER ONE

      DIMITRIOS heard footsteps in the passage outside his door. It was the middle of the night. Curious to know what was going on, he flung his covers aside and hurried out into the hall.

      “Leon?” he whispered when he saw his adored elder brother carrying a suitcase. “What’s happening?”

      Ignoring the command, he rushed up to Leon. “Where are you going?”

      “Lower your voice. You’ll find out soon enough.”

      “No,” he said on a heavy sigh. “We’ll be living in our parents’ villa.”
